Midnight Rock, South Ramp. The longest route on the rock, the South Ramp, is a continuation of a climb begun a few years ago by Ed Cooper. Dave Beckstead and I did the whole climb in two days. A number of wide angles were required and we put in an overhanging bolt ladder to avoid pitoning on a giant loose block.
